Financial Literacy Programs with Spark Business Academy

SPARK Business Academy builds real-life skills kids can use now — from money confidence to problem-solving — through hands-on, project-based learning.

What sets SPARK Business Academy apart:
  • Our instructors are highly qualified educators, typically teachers from the local public and private schools.
  • Real-life skills kids actually use: Financial literacy, entrepreneurship, decision-making, and problem-solving — not just games or busywork.
  • Learning by doing: students build, create, and apply concepts through hands-on projects, not worksheets.
  • Confidence with money and ideas: kids learn how money works, how businesses are built, and how to think independently.
  • Tangible takeaways: students leave with real projects, plans, or portfolios they can explain and be proud of.
  • Purposeful, structured learning: each day builds toward real understanding, not just filling time.
My First Piggy Bank
Earn, save, spend, donate! Through math games and hands-on activities kids learn about these and other key financial concepts like money, budgeting and saving. Students will also learn the basic concepts of philanthropy and donating to charity. Everyone will also make their very own piggy bank to take home!
